Recently, he was elected in the second round of the NBA draft – now the Swedish rookie Pelle Larsson has presented himself seriously.

Larsson decided the final of the NBA Summer League in overtime for his Miami Heat against Memphis Grizzlies.

Pelle set the tone for us today. That's what you want to see from one of your draft picks – that he comes in directly and dominates both offensively and defensively, says Miami's development coach Dan Bisaccio.

In the preseason tournament, the clubs mainly use newly drafted players and players who have not yet established themselves in the NBA. Larsson accounted for a total of 16 points in the final in Las Vegas. The last two made Miami win 120–118 after overtime.

The coach had drawn up a nice play that we've run on training several times, says Pelle Larsson about his decisive shot.

This year, for the first time, two Swedes were elected in the same NBA draft, and Bobi Klintman also played in the preseason tournament for his Detroit Pistons.

Previously, only three Swedes have been drafted, and Jonas Jerebko and Jeffrey Taylor are the only ones who have played in the NBA so far.
